Agentic Commerce, but built for merchants.
At @Adyen, we are actively working with @Google, @OpenAI, @Visa, @Mastercard, and our global customers, in building infrastructure that actually creates value for merchants and their customers.
Here are the principles guiding that work:
1. AI agents may only act on behalf of shoppers after receiving an explicit, verifiable authorization (a mandate) that secures the transaction and proves intent.
2. Merchants must be able to support all payment methods and manage their own tokenization lifecycle, allowing one-click checkout, card-on-file, and subscription models.
3. Merchants must be able to recognize and serve customers securely across agentic channels through a universal payment token.
4. Merchants must own their transaction data and customer relationships, ensuring that post-purchase visibility and service remain in their control.
Much more to come!

I'm teaching databases this semester at Berkeley. My students all seem unusually brilliant. Not many go to office hours, and not too many folks post on the course forum asking project questions.
Weirdly, the exam had the lowest recorded average in my 10 semesters teaching it.

Let's go hands-on with #GeminiAI.
Our newest AI model can reason across different types of inputs and outputs — like images and text. See Gemini's multimodal reasoning capabilities in action ↓
Just as GitHub was founded on Git, today we are re-founded on Copilot. From the GA of Copilot Chat, to the new Copilot Enterprise, to the Copilot Partner Program and so much more – we are expanding and infusing Copilot into every aspect of GitHub.

We're rolling out new features and improvements that developers have been asking for:
1. Our new model GPT-4 Turbo supports 128K context and has fresher knowledge than GPT-4. Its input and output tokens are respectively 3× and 2× less expensive than GPT-4. It’s available now to all developers in preview.
2. Assistants API and new tools (Retrieval, Code Interpreter) will help developers build world-class AI assistants within their own apps.
3. The platform is becoming multimodal. GPT-4 Turbo with Vision, DALL·E 3, and text-to-speech are all now available to developers.
Oh… and we’re doubling GPT-4 rate limits. https://t.co/BMnsBAHorI
